The issue is you're trying to fix a broken young adult who you most likely enabled for the last 10 plus years. I know that's harsh to hear but it's likely true. I've seen it time and time again.
Why would the son be "broken"?
NO, by not having his needs met over a prolonged time in childhood.
If you keep meeting someone’s “needs,” you ARE enabling them.
DP. That depends on what the needs are. Kids depend on adults for many of these, for example.

I don't know if it's spreading, but it can definitely be a serious illness. People with depression need treatment and support, not punishment and isolation.
